In gentle woods near Damariscotta (10 minutes) and Hidden Valley's thousand acres' public access (6 minutes) an updated authentic 1850s Maine home. Original lathe-and-plaster curved walls are steps from radiant-floor heated modern ensuite bath with soaking tub and skylights. Elegant spacial intricacies for those uninterested in prevailing cookie-cutter dwellings. Windows look onto well-spaced tree canopies, outdoor deck is elevated above a gracious meadow ringed by hardwoods. Living spaces are plentiful, solid and unique. Upgrades include kitchen, bath and bedroom areas, masonry stove, metal roof, new well and water lines, flooring, plumbing and new hot water heater. Priced to reflect need for exterior trim and paint updating, but behind cosmetic blemishes is a solid build and worthy home.
A classic farmhouse feel with some modern upgrades. A newer addition in 2005 that has the kitchen on the main floor and the master above it. Beautiful wide plank floors throughout the downstairs lead to a large, high-ceiling, eat-in kitchen with french doors leading to a shaded deck above well-maintained perennial beds and raised gardens which surround a serene sunken fire pit area. Main floor laundry, a full bath, a Russian Stove masonry chimney with built-in pizza oven, a top-of-the-line propane cook stove/oven, Jotul propane and wood stoves, and a wood stove in the foyer are sure to make you fall in love with the downstairs. The comfortable living continues upstairs with 3 bedrooms, two den/office/extra rooms, and a newly renovated spa-like ensuite master bath of your dreams. The master and ensuite have views of the large back yard and mature trees. You'll feel like you are up in your own serene tree house. This home is only 10 minutes from Damariscotta, 5 minutes from Damariscotta Lake, and just down the road from the Hidden Valley Nature Center and the Oxbow Brewing Company. This home is a must see!
